Radar707 makes a very good point that these redundancies are getting rid of members of the existing pension fund and all new employees will be members of the "new scheme". I would suggest that within three-four years these new members will be in the majority and therefore the unions will have to work in their interests and not the "old stagers"
I will give it 18 months before the management come back with suggestions about the "unfairness" of having two schemes and that they should be amalgamated into one (the new one, naturally)
One further thing, just to show that the redundancies were done fairly I am sure that there will be a few atco redundancies in there as well.
